At last it can be told - the spine-chilling story of how civilisation came to an end in 1975, and no-one noticed... except the President of the USA, the police of five continents, and the grandsons of that most amazing of couples, Sherlock Holms and Dr. Watson.

See the Chief Commissioner suffer a death worse than fate! See the Master of Disguise! (If you can spot which he is.) See the great detective solve the Times Crossword! See if you can guess the identity of Moriarty, the arch-villain who has given the world five days to live!

In fact, it's elementary, my dear viewer...
